A propos de moi
PREMIER PROMOTEUR FRANÇAIS RÉCOMPENSÉ PAR L’ASSOCIATION DE COUNTRY MUSIC CANADIENNE
L’engagement de Franck Boucheraud à promouvoir la musique country canadienne en France et en Europe est sans précédent, à déclarer Ted Ellis, président du directoire de la CCMA lors de la remise de son award international en septembre 2017 (Leonard T Rambeau International Award). Franck Boucheraud est d’ailleurs le premier français à recevoir cette récompense honorifique.
L’exposition internationale qu’il a donné aux artistes canadiens est réellement exceptionnelle. Après avoir passé une partie de sa carrière aux Etats Unis, Franck Boucheraud à délibérément décidé de concentrer ses efforts sur la promotion unique d’artistes country canadiens en créant en 2008 la Canadian Music Night dans le cadre de l’American Tours Festival. La qualité de sa programmation a été un vecteur décisif du succès de promotion des artistes canadiens en Europe et tout particulièrement en France.
Fort d’une expérience de plus de 15 ans dans le booking d’artistes Canadiens internationaux comme Gord Bamford, Brett Kissel, The Washboard Union, The Abrams,Meghan Patrick, The Road Hammers, Aaron Goodvin, Dan Davidson, Prescott Brown, Joan Kennedy, Aaron Pritchett et bien d’autres, Franck Boucheraud est aussi depuis 2019 promoteur indépendant pour l’Europe des plus grands artistes Canadiens de musique country essentiellement anglophones. Il est aussi le coordinateur européen de toutes les artistes de l’agence Sakamoto. ( Ron Sakamoto ayant été l’illustre premier agent de Shania Twain & des tournées au Canada de Keith Urban).
Ultime satisfaction,pour la troisième année consécutive, l’agence Sakamoto a été élue en 2022 par la Canadian Country Music Association( CCMA), meilleure agence de booking d’artistes de l’année.
